As I sit and hold your hand
You’re going further and further away.
What can I do? I hold your hand.
I say some words to comfort.
What can I say?
This can’t be real. Oh no, it can’t be true!
I just can’t bear to say “Goodbye” to you.
Is this the hardest thing I’ll ever do?
Sitting beside you when you die.
Please don’t go!
I love you so.
Please don’t go!
You said that you can’t bear it any more.
You said it’s time for you to go.
But I can’t bear to see you suffer so.
Sitting beside you when you die.
Do not go gentle! Do not go gentle!
Do not go gentle into that good night.
I rage! I rage!
I rage against that cruel dimming of your light.
Please don’t take your smile away from me
For it’s the one thing that I love to see
But now I know I have to set you free.
Sitting beside you when you die.
